Well meet medics on the front lines. 3. Hero. And a space x. Rocket funders away from earth with 2 nasa astronauts aboard. A new era in commercial space travel. For protests against racism have spread to even more u. S. Cities becoming violent in many of them what began as demonstrations over the death of george floyd after being arrested the real work in the National Outrage of the deaths blamed on police well start with this report from mike hanna. What started out as peaceful protests in dozens of cities around to in violence in Los Angeles Police vehicles were set on fire sending plumes of black smoke over the area. Similar scenes in cities ranging from seattle where a 5 pm curfew has been set to miami where thousands gathered through the day and where like in so many other areas a standoff with police ended in clouds of tear gas in chicago where demonstrators held signs carrying messages of protest that were repeated throughout the nation. In new york a city that is still to emerge from the ravages of the pandemic a series of protests took place throughout the 5 boroughs and in minneapolis the city where george floyd was killed and where the National Wave of protests began. The president left the white house in the morning to attend the basics launch and afterwards expressed his sympathy for george floyd and his family but also had this to say about the protesters the memory of george floyd is being dishonored by riders looters and anarchists the violence and vandalism is being led by n. T. Fire and other radical left wing groups who were terrorizing the innocent destroying jobs. Hurting businesses and burning down buildings this in the wake of a tweet saying if protesters had broken the secret service ring outside the white house they would have been greeted with the most vicious dogs and most are ministers weapons i have seen the reference to vicious dogs seen by washingtons mayor Muriel Bowser as a throwback to the police use of dogs on African American civil rights activists decades ago and in an extraordinary tweet off her own the mayor lashed out at the president in the white house saying and i quote while he hides behind his fence afraid alone i stand with people peacefully exercising their 1st amendment right after the murder of george floyd and hundreds of years of institutional racism there are no vicious dogs and ominous weapons there is just a scared man afraid alone. Into the mind crowds continue to gather within sight and sound of the president s residence clashing with police and secret Service Agents on several occasions washington d. C. Became one of more than 11 cities where the National Guard has been mobilized and amidst a flickering of flames and swirling smoke curfews were declared in a number of areas the same a nation just emerging from a months long lockdown in the face of a pandemic mike hammer aljazeera washington. Yes so thats washington d. C. Weve also got teams in minnesota and los angeles in a moment well hear from rob reynolds 1st john hendren on the latest developments in the city where this will began. This is what a curfew is supposed to look like a few people on the street few cars in relative quiet but it was a far cry from that just hours ago. Police and demonstrators faced off in an area they have been trading control of a night ago the police controlled an intersection behind me and then demonstrators took it over in the day well in the evening the police came back in force marching toward the protesters shooting pellets and firing tear gas it all took about 15 minutes to disperse the crowd we spoke to some of the protesters and this is what they had to say that you dont need drawing gas so lets not go. Over a bullet if you know me i got picked up in the back. We need our justice we need our justice the city will not rest until we get out just no justice no peace is that man without one officer has been arrested and charged with murder but there were 4 officers involved in the arrest of george floyd that ended in his death now the crowd says they want to stay out here in the streets of minneapolis despite the curfew despite the Police Presence until all 4 of those officers are arrested. The National Guard has been requested by the mayor of los angeles and they should start arriving units of the National Guard from california should start arriving within the coming hours now theyre designed to play a backup role to the Los Angeles Police department the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department assisting them in allowing those Police Officers to deal with the civil unrest multiple stores have been ransacked as you can see there is fire there have been also a Police Car Set on fire a lot of Vandalism Police have been using. Irritant gas not sure if we can call it tear gas or. Not since there are a variety of such. Devices they have also used rubber bullets and bean bag type nonlethal projectiles in order to disperse the crowds once the violence began because of course this did start as a peaceful protest march protesting the killing of george floyd in minneapolis earlier this week thousands of people held signs and marched peacefully but then things started to go very badly wrong and now as i say theres been a lot of vandalism a lot of ransacking stores emptied out by people who may or may not have any real connection to the protest movement so lets look at some reaction in his latest remarks the Presumptive DemocraticParty President ial nominee joe biden said the past few days have made it clear that the u. S. Is a nation furious about injustice however he added that violence cannot be tolerated heres some of it the act of protesting should never be allowed to overshadow the reason we protest it should not drive people away from the just cause that protest is meant to advance and were going to discuss some of this with brian levin now hes director of the sense of the study of hate and extremism at California State University in San Bernardino used to be a Police Officer in new york as well so you can bring us some some interesting perspective what strikes me with all of this brian is that weve seen this movie before its happened over and over again it was it was it was ferguson missouri it was if you want to go right back to rodney king in 1902 why does it never get properly addressed much in the way that you know School Shootings in the u. S. They root cause never gets properly addressed. Well to 2 Different ThingsSchool Shootings we we have too many firearms in the United States but with but with regard to this. Its like 2 steps forward one step back and what i can tell you is what this officer did was completely counter to the trainings that are taking place at the professional level at major agencies throughout the United States so. Whether its representative or not its something that is basically prohibited in most trainings you do not do show cooled or compress the chest like that youve just done and yet it hasnt obviously it happens and what is extraordinary particularly with this case is that it happened in broad daylight the the officers knew they were being filmed it went on for 9 minutes the audacity of it all absolutely but theres no dasti to bigotry and i think that we are fooling ourselves if we believe that the systemic bigotry which takes place in the United States and elsewhere is in the in some way just limited to police but i think what weve seen here is we had in rapid succession 3 horrible deaths of africanamerican people who were on armed. And. The country. Is demanding an answer. And i think theres a difference in whats going on a lot of white people like myself feel oh thats a terrible thing but what we dont feel is that its going to happen to us and after Martin Luther kings assassination in 1968 the Current Commission was created and said we have 2 americas and unfortunately unfortunately while we have made strides and i think the court to see that and peaceful nonviolent direct action has been responsible for that weve had to be crime laws passed weve had the election of an africanamerican president but 2 steps forward once again back 43 percent of americans say whites are under attack and gallup poll shows that Race Relations are at their most frayed that theyve been in decades and when we. Do i do want to get a couple more questions in to you you know we say that we see the protests going on we see the reaction and we see the violence which comes with as well the fires and the looting in the chaos and then that overshadows everything doesnt it and fact the president s response i mentioned joe bidens response but the president s response has been talking about im going to hit the violence cold its not about the root causes it. No his his leadership on this is been abysmal what he needed to do was come out to this country and speak with empathy about the feelings that our africanamerican Friends Family and neighbors feel that i dont when i walk into a store or when i get pulled over and until we have an america where africanamericans are not 2 or 3 more times likely to be a victim of a hate crime or not 2 or 3 more times likely to to be afflicted by things like the coronavirus and also opportunities with regard to employment and education there are so many things that we cannot turn our eyes away anymore and what we need to do is we need to vote and we need to not have this just be a one week thing by the way one quick thing most of the protesters have been nonviolent thats the story behind the story and what we see are interim local looters and extremists from from different sides trying to exploit this but i can tell you that im hearing from my friends across the country whove been involved in nonviolent protests that the majority of these protests have in fact been peaceful in till such time that this is the smaller number of people exploiting that and what these people do is tarnish the moral imperative of the effort that all the stuff to do with rolling up our sleeves to advance racial equality in this nation but i havent a pleasure talking to you thank you for your thoughts today appreciate it. Thank you just want to go back to the pictures we were having a look at whilst we were talking to brian they were coming from los angeles where it is. A little bit past midnight at the moment 12 minutes past midnight curfew went into place from 8 pm to 5 30 am but clearly its being defined defied i should say by so many in los angeles and in so many cities across the country a dozen cities under curfew and as we were saying with brian there its which story do we look at do we look at the violence do we look at the curfews being broken do we look at the protests or do we look at the root cause as well and what gives rise to this so often there are 2 stories obviously linked. But 2 very different narratives from different sides in the United States you heard joe biden there talking about not forgetting why we purchased and President Trump very much talking about the protests and stopping them live pictures in from los angeles where as i say its coming up a little bit past 12 in the morning and the protests continue right across the United States thats a little bit more reaction we heard from rosa clement who is an of a Community Organizer with black lives matter of course the group formed after the death of a black teenager Trayvon Martin that was 8 years ago actually in florida she told us people are at breaking point. Every 28 hours in the United States of america an African American native person south asian person or brown person let the you know are killed by the police every 28 hours george floyd unfortunately was something we had to watch for 9 minutes but we could talk about Briana Taylor and teen who was working during the Global Pandemic where police entered her house while her and her boyfriend were asleep they thought they were being rot and her body was so riddled with bullets and this is last month in louisville kentucky that they had a hard time even putting her back together i can name you. Tony make day a black trance man that was just killed 2 days ago by the police in memphis and i could spend 5 hours with you all and i could not even answer or we wouldnt even both do the lists of multiple Police Killings this is a not only a Tipping Point its an explosion and within against this Global Pandemic until all those cops are respite until they go to trial until they get jail time and then serve that jail time i think were going to be seen this a lot more for many many weeks here in the United States the rest of the days news is coming up tweeden covered 19 challenges for democratic republic of congo is beating the virus and the myths about as well.
